Hi, I am wanting to use ALTSEQ on a file to translate some invalid characters that are being sent in only on the first name and last name fields. I do not want to ALTSEQ the whole file because the characters to appear in other places within the file but the request was to only to make those changes to the first and last name fields....Also I need to do multiple translations in order to check and translate different possible characters within these fields...But I DO want to produce the whole file in the OUTREC. Is this possible? How would I code this? Thank you..

Ok, I did the above and it worked...But this only works for one character...I need to translate multiple characters within the same field...I have tried several different syntax and they all fail or just tranlate only the first character....Can I use multiple ALTSEQ's within one SORT?
